A number of States have enacted
statutes providing for the creation of entities that may establish
series, including limited liability companies (series LLCs). In
general, series LLC statutes provide that a limited liability
company may establish separate series. Although series of a series
LLC generally are not treated as separate entities for State law
purposes and, thus, cannot have members, each series has
‘‘associated’’ with it specified members, assets, rights,
obligations, and investment objectives or business purposes.
Members’ association with one or more particular series is
comparable to direct ownership by the members in such series, in
that their rights, duties, and powers with respect to the series
are direct and specifically identified. If the conditions
enumerated in the relevant statute are satisfied, the debts,
liabilities, and obligations of one series generally are
enforceable only against the assets of that series and not against
assets of other series or of the series LLC. REG-119921-09 contains
proposed regulations regarding the classification for Federal tax
purposes of a series of a domestic series limited liability company
(LLC), a cell of a domestic cell company, or a foreign series or
cell that conducts an insurance business.
